Alabama was away from Bryant-Denny Stadium last Saturday but a pair of high-profile recruiting visits to other schools over the weekend may have tipped things in the Crimson Tide's favor for two of the nation's top running backs.

Five-star athlete Derrick Henry is scheduled to announce his college decision September 27 and has publicly declared Alabama his favorite. Over the weekend, Henry took an official visit to Tennessee and although the 6-foot-3, 240-pound star told 247Sports that he enjoyed the visit to Knoxville, the Crimson Tide remain on top in the race for his signature.

"Alabama is still in the front, but Tennessee made me think this weekend," Henry told GoVols247. "I'm going to sit down and talk to my coaches and my family, and then we'll see."

Henry will take one final visit before making his decision when he heads to Tuscaloosa this weekend to take in the Crimson Tide's game against Florida Atlantic.

Henry, a star running back for Yulee High School in Florida, is rated the No. 2 athlete prospect in the nation in the 247Composite rankings and has rushed for 881 yards and 12 touchdowns in just three games so far this season.

Meanwhile, Little Rock native and Alabama commit Altee Tenpenny was in Fayetteville to witness Alabama's dominating win over the Razorbacks and while the four-star running back still intends to take at least a few of his official visits, Tenpenny told BamaOnline that he continues to be pleased watching Alabama's offense in action.

"It's good for them to rotate a lot of backs," Tenpenny said of Alabama's offense, which used five different running backs against the Razorbacks on Saturday. "It shows that I'll get a chance when I go up there to play since they keep rotating fresh legs in the game."

Tenpenny headed to Fayetteville just hours after rushing for 166 yards and four touchdowns on just 14 carries.
